Before you keep scrolling, take a moment for yourself. Take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, and relax your shoulders. Close your eyes and visualize your book finished, perfect, and well received. How does that make you feel? What gems does it hold for your readers?
Now open your eyes and look around you. Take notice of the details that make up your environment. What gems are hidden in the little complexities of your everyday life? Inspiration is everywhere; all you have to do is slow down & pay attention.

There comes a point in every writer’s journey where they hit a wall and just can’t seem to get back into the groove of things. Have no fear; carnelian is here!😂
Seriously, though, carnelian is the perfect crystal to use to put a little pep in your step and get back to doing what you do best. Hold it as you write by hand, keep it on your desk, or meditate with it & your intention before you get started. Take advantage of Mama Earth’s little treasures; they’re here to help!☺️

⚡️Tuning into Your Writer’s Intuition⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The term “intuition” can be kind of confusing to those who aren’t familiar with it, but it essentially refers to our inner knowing, that tinge of certainty we get right before our doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs take over.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you’re not fully aware of it, you consult your intuition on a daily basis for small things, like what to eat for breakfast, and big things, like when it’s time to leave a job.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a writer, your intuition (or writerly instincts) is key in guiding you and your book in the right direction. If you all of a sudden feel like you don’t know what to write, that could be your intuition telling you something is off with your content.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you feel stuck, the best thing you can do is:
💓 Do something relaxing that doesn’t require much thought
💓 Ask your intuition a question, like “What am I trying to say here”?” or “What info do my readers really need to know?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This may not work the first time you do it, but making a habit of connecting with your intuition can help you deepen your creativity and problem-solving skills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the comments, tell me about a time you listened to your writerly instincts!🌟

Are you afraid of breaking into something new? Is your comfort zone a little TOO comfortable?🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been there. In fact, I’m still there, constantly battling between my need for safety and security and my desire to explore something new.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, your comfort zone is a bit boring. Think about it: The most exciting moments of your life have probably been the moments you took a leap of faith or tried something new and loved it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s scary, but it’s necessary. Step out on faith and don’t be afraid to take a chance when necessary.
